AbstractThis book examines the historical background of Prussian German-American relations 1776-1976 as reflected in the work of Prussian and German diplomats in the United States of America, and views the history as an interesting basis for an assessment of current developments. The history of the Embassy in Washington, as in the case of most of Germany's older missions abroad, tells the checkered story of German political representation in all its different phases -- Prussia, Customs Union, Reich Government of 1848, Kaiserreich, Weimar Republic, Federal Republic of Germany. Includes brief biographical sketches of each German ambassador and details their term, often accompanied by a portrait.
